Thanks, this entry kind of ruffled my feathers.
I have been trudging along similar lines for a while.
It’s not the destination, it’s the journey.
The Grail is just a vase or something. It is the quest for the Grail that will give you everything you wish for.

Hi Lou,
I’ve invested in the eagle, and have written some thoughts here: http://www.whats-your-sign.com/symbolic-eagle-meaning.html

I am seeking some meaning into recent encounters with Bald Eagles. In the last 2 years, my family and I have seen Bald Eagles fly in our development. Recently, in May, I captured two of them eating small game while on the turf. They were w/ 40 feet of my property and filmed the event for 5 minutes. It was amazing, especially because of my interest in birds of prey.
I have since learned there is a significance to these sitings on a spiritual level. My wife, who has been battling metatstatic breast cancer, believes there is a message in this, due to the fact the May siting occurred as she began Chemo after a 2 year remission.
What do you know of in regards to these strange events and there meaning….Keep in mind my area is not known for bald eagles and these visits are normally rare.

Thanks.

Curious in PA.

Self-questioning is often part of a learning curve. Human beings go from qustioning to believing to knowing on different levels of awareness. When one stops questioning, one stops doubting. Tapping into inner knowing is not a trigger for arrogance. It is a stage where you move beyond emotion to feel only truth.

Howdy D~! Had to laugh @ the Twitter comment…seems both our brains are on fire lately.

And, your elaboration makes a lot of sense…ironically (well, probably not so ironic knowing what we know about the phenomenal nature of realities) I too had a similar experience.

We both know Time as the ultimate scrying tool. It reflects back those lessons that can’t be known in the moment, but recognized much later.

Retrospect is why I too am very mindful of my behavior in relationships – particularly in our connection.

Soul Sisters – yes, very much so. We are very good for each other. My gratitude and respect for you is a match to your own.

Hello again … and your words are too kind. I’m just doing my thing like everybody else, like you. Our running into one another now is awesome in its timliness and in the way we can relate to one another … I cherish it.

I have a special appreciation for our mutually cathartic relationship because of mistakes made in the past. I had a good friend, a spiritual sister, whose path was similar to my own, although the experience was *vastly* different. She and I were in different places on the path, hers being a naturally cognitive place (i.e., she dealt with spontaneous knowing regularly and then had to deal with that influx of information regardless of whether or not she was ready) and her need to be *heard* surpassed my need to be in my own space, and so we came to odds very quickly and then later with finality … it was a terrible loss for both of us, I think.

So, I am very careful, very respectful, and infinitely grateful to have found you. I enjoy our sharing.

Great Zeus woman, you should be writing this blog!

Eloquently put. I’m in love with the way you’ve phrased it. You’ve a bright gift for expressing in word, such slippery concepts.

You are a catalyst…opening up various portals within my understanding with very little effort. No doubt you facilitate awakening within others too.

Namaste & Gratitude Donna!

OH wow … this is a great post! And you are so right. Wisdom lies within … yet we seek it outwardly. Wha? This is what I think, for what it’s worth … And I can only speak to my experience, no one else’s.

If wisdom is within, why the heck do we search outwardly? Well, first, I think we seek the key, the key to unlocking our hearts, which I believe is the apex of knowing. The cathartic pieces, the personal keystones, are different for everyone, but in general, perhaps all must begin with healing. First we must heal our schisms and realize our worthiness. And know that healing is a continuous thing that I’ve come to believe is inherently multi-dimensional. Let me say that others telling us about this before our lights are on, before the flame is lit, is a waste of energy. I don’t think it sinks in until we’re ready to hear it, until we’re capable of hearing it. And, of course, “it” can be anything on the widest spectrum imaginable. While the overall knowledge may not be subjective, the experience of that knowledge certainly is … and we must each give one another the space to find that understanding individually without judgement, fear or misunderstanding. We can aid one another on the path, but that aid and friendship comes with the responsibility to allow each his own experience.

That’s when I know a true seeker … when respect is involved.

Such a glorious topic that I, too, have been pondering recently. We are all seekers, Avia.

Your friend,
D~
